Our First Fundition Project was a Success!

In just over a month, we have accomplished our first Fundition goal because of your overwhelming support. Myke is now guaranteed to receive a consistent P1000 stipend for the remaining months of the school year.

On behalf of Myke, we thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Our Current Sponsored Students

MYKE Myke's Intro Post	CARLO Carlo's Intro Post	MARK On This Post

_{Elden, a deaf and mute student from the same school as Myke, was supposed to be our third scholar. But, unfortunately, due to repeated absences for several weeks, we decided to select a different student instead. Elden would have his chance again once he demonstrates his full commitment to schooling.}

Meet Our New Scholar, Mark

********		********
	Name: Mark Len dela Torre Nickname: Mark Course: Hotel and Restaurant Servicing major in Food Processing School Year: 2018-2019 Address: Davao del Norte City, Philippines Age: 25

Mark is both deaf and mute

Just like our first scholar, Myke, Mark also faces the same challenges as a deaf and mute. Despite the difficulties, he is a very earnest believer in education. Quoting Mark: "I am doing the best I can to learn everything that I need to learn that can help me reach my dreams so I can have a better future." He aspires to gain proficiency in baking cookies and cakes to start his own pastry business in the future.

@chinitacharmer, one of Mark's teachers, recommended him to be a part of the @scholarsph program. She comments when asked why she chose Mark among her students:

"I chose Mark because he has a lot of excellent traits as a student. Mark is hardworking and persistent in his studies. He has good grades and always participates in class. He has also never been late nor absent since the beginning of the school year."

Mark has also displayed exemplary leadership skills. "He often leads his deaf and mute classmates in most of their group activities and also helps each one with their task." @chinitacharmer adds, "He is also very respectful to his teacher and very cheerful towards his peers. He doesn't complain no matter how difficult the situation is."

"Mark is full of dreams and someone really worthy of our support."
